death bed confession. The elder Stain is living
ia pericul0 mOrtiS aud visions of themurdered
Barron are chasing through his brain. In a
paroxysm Of fright and remorse he calls his
son to his bedside and confesses that he has
robbed the Dexter bank and murdered Bar
ron. But from Stains confession as pub
lished by the World this death bed scene
entirely disappears, and we have the elder
Stain and his pals talking over the robbery
as they are fleeing from tie scene of their
crime, and the younger Stain gathering the
story as it falls from their lips. The
groundwork of the first story is the confess
sion of the elder Stain when he thought he
was dying; the groundwork of the second is
conversation between him and his pals
when fleeing from the scene of their crime,
heard by the younger Stain, and the
only way to reconcile this fatal variance is
by alleging that the stenographer misun-
derstood Stainl What nonsensel
The truth about all this business is that
stain is phenomenal liar His first confess
sion as published is undoubtedly substantial
ly as 1t came from his pen. His second con-
fession as published by the World is no doubt
virtually as it fell from his lips. One of them
certainly is lie. and probably both of them
are. If there is any evidence outside of his
stories to convicr the men under Iarrest then
it is proper to hold them. But if the only re-
lance is the evidence of this fellow then
they should be promptly discharged To use
the words Of Hon. d. d. Stewart his story is
not worth postage stamp.

Our fishermen may be pleased to know
that the Canadian cruiser Roulette, the same
one that captured the Highland Light, the
only American vessel actually: condemned
and contiscated in the Canadian courts, will
know the waters of Nova Scotia no more
The Canadians believe that the Roulette can
do better poaching than watching fol-
poachers where they don't often exist, and
so she will hereafter be employed in the
Alaskan seal fisheries. An old Canadian
salt, Captain Grant by name, has purchased
her OF the government with the intention Of
lodging around Uncle Sans seal waters on
the Northwest coast. Captain Grant has
been making INQUIRIES about the cost of can
non and ammunition, and it is understood he
will arm the vessel SO that if any Yankee
cruiser attempts TO capture her on the high
seas off Alaska, there may be row before
the pelts are given up and the flag struck.
The Halifax Herald says that Grant has sent
an agent down to Cape Breton to pick out "a
crew of raw-boned Highlanders who know
their rights and are able to defend them
selves and their property ON the high seas or
anywhere else" Not upon the broadsword
and bagpipe, however, will the doughty
Grant rely. He is trying to have Gunner
Mcdonald, who went up the Nile with
Wolseley's yoyageurs," enrolled among the
crew to "have charge of the implements of
war" In spite of these preparations no one
need fear great war in the glacial regions
The revenue cutter Rush will take care Of
the Roulette, Captain Grant. the raw-boned
Highlanders and Gunner Mcdonald.

Stains Lies.

A few days ago, as all the world knows,
the New York World published what pur-
ported to be the confession of one Charles f.
Stain, giving the details of the robbing of
the Dexter Savings Bank and the murder Of
John w. Barron. This confession, it was
alleged, had been taken down from Stains
lips by stenographer. The publication
represented Stain as having been accessory
to the crime. He drove, it was alleged, one
Of the two teams with which the robbers
provided themselves, to Bingham and then
back to Scion, where he waited for the rob-
beers till four O'Clock on the morning of the
23d All be pretended to know OF the rob-
berry he professed to have learned from hear
ing the robbers talk about it as they were
fleeing from the scene of their crime. lie
related how the robbers first learned of the
death of Barron, what they said when they
read his death in the Daily Telegram, how
they separated at North Arson, how later
they all turned up together at Medfeld and
how he himself drove one Of the teams back
to Gardiner. This story was before the pub
lie Tor several days, its details were dis
cussed and nobody connected with the New
York World ever intimated that there was
any substantial difference between the story
as published and the story as told by Stain.
On Saturday it was discovered that as a
matter of fact Stain at the time he protested
to have been driving the robbers through
Somerset county was securely locked IN in
Auburn Jail. Here was pretty pickle. The
court records could not be impeached, and
they proved conclusively that Stain lied if
he said he was driving through Somerset
county on the night of February 21st, 1878.
The bottom had dropped out Of the
greatest sensation of the year. But
1t would never do to let sensa-
ton die such an inglorlous death, so
search was made for some way to save it..
There was only one way-a desperate one to
be sure but desperate causes require desper-
ate remedies-and that was to explain away
the fatal discrepancy by putting it on to the
stenographer. So this expedient was adopt
ed. and what is called the original confess
Ion produced to show how the stenographer
garbled the second.
what wretched stenographer that must
have been! Stains first story is based on

In his first confession, Stain said that he
carried the secret of the robbery locked up
in his breast and never related it to anyone
until he told it to Sheriff Mitchell in Nor
ridgewock jail. In his second confession he
says he first told it to his wife and wrote it
out at her instigation. In his second con-
fession he says he remained at Medfield a
short time after the robbery and then went
to Montreal. As a matter Of fact, he was in
Auburn jail, and from there went to State
prison, from which he was discharged Feb.
